General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 584 Answer with a smile

The dragon-headed warship with spread wings came across the sky, blocking the direct sunlight in the sky and casting a large shadow on the top of the Justice Tower.

The tall figure in a snow-white military uniform was facing the light, and his face could not be seen clearly. Suddenly his feet moved and he fell straight down from a height of several hundred meters.

There was a soft snapping sound, and Rorschach stood on the pillar of the bridge connected to the Justice Tower, looking at the members of the Straw Hat Pirates who had gathered around their captain after successively winning hard on their respective battlefields.

Luffy, Sanji, Robin, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, and a smile with a complicated look on his face floated down from the top of the tower, blocking Luffy and others.

In the far corner, Franky stood looking furtively in this direction.

Looking at Luffy's group gathered together, looking at the smile that seemed to be contrary to the rules, but yet getting along extremely harmoniously with Luffy and the others, Rorschach couldn't help but lament the impermanence of fate.

Sometimes you desperately want to change the direction of something, but the world will always give you a surprise, making the thing you want to change move in another, more incredible direction.

This is the so-called direction of the world, and it does not change according to personal will.

Manpower is sometimes scarce.

"Who are you?!"

In the entire Straw Hat Pirates, except for the silly Luffy and the ignorant Chopper, everyone else seems to know who the person in front of them is.

At the corner in the distance, Frankie couldn't bear to cover his face and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't.

Usopp swallowed, his lips trembled, he was so scared that he almost couldn't speak. He stammered: "He...he...this man is Lieutenant General Lan Lin!"

Chopper noticed the nervousness and fear of his companions, and couldn't help but become nervous along with them.

"You're lying, right? You...you are that man!" Nami's pupils dilated, with fear in her eyes.

Usopp let out a scream and hid behind Yixiao. His body was shaking with fear. He couldn't help but pull Yixiao's clothes, and then he dared to stick his head out and secretly look at Rorschach who was standing still.

When he saw Luo Xia's unusually tall figure, Luffy's extremely tired heart immediately tightened.

Nami, who was standing next to her and holding her hand, could clearly feel the force on Robin's finger joints.

The moment Robin, who was freed from handcuffs, saw Rorschach falling from the sky, his calm face showed visible nervousness.

"The man who destroyed the Kingdom of Germa."

Chopper tilted his head, looking confused.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the man who was also nearly three meters tall that he met on Long Chain Island.

Out of his innately powerful intuition, he felt a familiar and terrifying sense of oppression.

"Lieutenant General?"

He looked at Usopp and asked in a low voice: "Sniper King! Who is he?"

"Just a Vice Admiral?"

However, Nami's expression at this moment did not look much better than Robin's.

Sanji didn't know what he was thinking of, but there was a surge of anger deep in his eyes, and his hands hanging by his sides were clenched tightly into fists at some point.

"Why are you so scared? The opponent looks very young. He shouldn't be the invincible admiral we met last time, right?"

"Yes, I am indeed just a newly appointed Vice Admiral." Rorschach's eyes swept over the familiar but unfamiliar people in front of him one by one, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile. smile.

"Stop lying!" Usopp jumped up with fury. He was so frightened by Rorschach's gaze that the mask on his face flew off. He pointed at Rorschach and shivered:

"Everyone, be careful! This guy is the navy's candidate for general, Lieutenant General Lanlin Luo Xia. He once personally slaughtered ten million pirates, killed three kings of the Shichibukai, and killed the pirate king Roger. Qi’s great pirate Golden Lion. Although he is not a naval admiral, he is extremely powerful and is an out-and-out pirate killer!"

"What? One... ten million?" Chopper's pupils dilated to the limit, and he staggered back, sitting on the ground. "You also killed three King Shichibukai? Usopp, you are not lying, are you? ? Did he kill three pirates as powerful as Moonlight Moria?"

"No! The three Shichibukai he killed were much more powerful than Moonlight Moria! In short, everyone must be careful and it's best to escape quickly!"

Usopp said, tears about to come out.

Chopper was about to cry, looking at Yixiao eagerly.

"Mr. Yixiao will protect us, right?"

"Yeah, I won't let you hurt them, Rorschach."

He walked towards Luo Xia with a smile, holding a staff and knife in his hand.

Luo Xia looked at him quietly, then suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "A smile, do you know how I feel when I see you here?"

"It's like I discovered a golden mountain, but before I could take it for myself, my opponent got there first and intercepted it halfway. I feel empty in my heart."

"Gold Mountain? Where is it?" Nami's eyes suddenly glowed golden.

Usopp hit her on the shoulder and complained: "Is now the time to be greedy for money? Idiot!"

Then he looked at Luffy and said anxiously: "Luffy! While Mr. Yixiao stopped that scary guy, let's run away!"

Luffy's chest rose and fell, he pushed Chopper away who was quickly bandaging his wounds, and walked towards Rorschach regardless of everyone's obstruction.

In front of Luo Xia, Yixiao stood opposite him three meters away. The scars on his eyes moved and he showed an apologetic smile. "It is an honor for me to be regarded as a treasure by the famous Lieutenant General Lan Lin. Luo Xia, I am sorry to live up to your original invitation. However, although we are now in a hostile position, I still admire your justice."

"Yixiao, you know if you don't join the navy, who will inherit the title of Admiral Fujitora in the future?"

Rorschach whispered in his heart, but he asked the questions he had been asking along the way.

"Can you tell me, Mr. Yixiao, why did you suddenly change your original intention and choose to become a pirate?"

After hearing Rorschach's question, Yixiao was silent for a while.

Rorschach's question was something he had thought over and over in his mind just ten minutes ago. He already knew his true pursuit, so he gave the answer simply.

"The reason why I originally had the idea of ​​joining the navy was to practice benevolent justice and to dismantle the Shichibukai system."

He looked at Rorschach quietly.

"I don't think I need to join the navy for the latter. Someone will help me complete it. That person is you, Rorschach."

Luo Xia was stunned, then smiled bitterly again.

"I see. It seems like I tricked myself."

"What about the former? I think your kind justice needs to be smiled upon in the Navy."

Rorschach glanced at Luffy who came to Yixiao's side and asked again.

Unexpectedly, Yixiao shook his head after hearing this.

He let out a long sigh and then said: "No, Rorschach, you must know better than us what kind of path the navy of this era will take."

He turned to look at the five giant Demon-Slaying Order warships that surrounded the Justice Tower. He looked at the murderous sailors on the warships and the black muzzles of the guns.

"see it?"

"In the navy of this era, because of you and Akainu, the concept of absolute justice has taken the dominant position."

"Like the hero Garp, the kindness and justice that Black-armed Zefa insists on are similar to those of me. They have gone into decline in the navy."

"I can foresee that in the near future, the person who will become the real helmsman of your navy will be either Akainu or you."

"So, even if I really join the navy, I will only conflict with you who lead the righteous direction of the navy in future actions, so..."

Yixiao turned his head and looked at Luffy standing beside him, an ugly smile appeared on his face, "So I chose another path."

Rorschach fell silent after hearing this.

He really wanted to explain to Yixiao that the concept of justice he insisted on was different from Akainu.

But it seems that as Yixiao said, the navy of the future will move towards a true iron-blooded path.

The benevolence insisted on by the older generation of navies such as Warring States, Garp, and Zefa will all withdraw from the historical stage of the navy one by one.

Even the confused Aokiji would be kicked out of the navy because of the same thought.

At that time, Akainu became the marshal of the navy and became the helmsman of the navy.

Rorschach has been promoted to admiral, and in the future he may be joined by Green Bull who also insists on absolute justice, plus a group of potential players from G5.

There will be no more noise in the entire navy, and they will become one and become a sharp knife that breaks through all obstacles to justice.

It can be said that as long as Akainu is still there, as long as Rorschach is still there, this is the inevitable trend and is unstoppable.

Rorschach finally understood.

No wonder Yixiao made such a choice.

After a long silence, he nodded.

"I understand, I respect your choice Yixiao."

A dark and shiny heavy halberd flew out from the Qilin, which was already hovering in the center of the fleet in the distance, and stuck on the bridge beside Rorschach with a roar.

Luo Xia grabbed the handle of the Tianlong Halberd with his hand and looked at Yixiao.

"Since we have become enemies, let's do it once and smile."

"Dare you disobey your orders?"

Yixiao pulled out the stick knife in his hand.

Just when the battle was about to break out, Luffy, who had been standing next to Yixiao without speaking, suddenly stood up, stood in front of Yixiao, and looked up at Rorschach.

"I'm the captain, I'm here to challenge you!"
